Holiday Like The Pros: Ambassador Picks
Ruffwear Ambassadors share our belief that dogs make us whole and our relationship with our dogs is shaped by the adventures we share. So who better to turn to for some holiday inspiration than our very own Ambassador Pack?
Read on for their top gear picks (both human and canine) and other ways they make the holidays with their canine companions an extra special time of year.
